Lazy Cow

"Lazy Cow" came from one of those simple, lovely Sundays. We were walking along the Quayside in Newcastle, from the market, all the way up towards the Ouseburn, soaking up the sunshine and just enjoying the pace of it all.

On the way, we spotted this cow, completely sprawled out, living its absolute best life in the field at Ouseburn Farm. Naturally, I had to take a photo and I knew straight away it was going to be painted.

The naming, however, was a team effort. My boyfriend asked what I was going to call it, and I confidently said, “Snoozy Cow.”

My sister, without missing a beat, jumped in with “You mean Lazy Cow., right?”

And honestly, she was right. It’s just better. The ironic part is, for someone who loves a pun, I’m actually terrible at coming up with them. So when a good one lands, it really lands, and this one felt too good not to run with.

This piece is a little nod to those slow, sunny days, unexpected moments of joy, and not taking things too seriously.

A fun one to paint, and hopefully a fun one to live with too. 🐄

The original Lazy Cow painting is still for sale and is an oil on canvas measuring 50 × 60 cm.

The piece will soon be varnished and professionally framed, ready to find its forever wall.

If you’re interested in giving this laid-back beauty a new home, I’d love to hear from you.

Please get in touch via email to enquire about availability, pricing, or shipping.

Limited edition fine art prints of Lazy Cow are now available.

Originally inspired by a sleepy cow spotted snoozing in the sunshine along the Newcastle Quayside, this piece is a playful little reminder to slow down and soak up the simple moments.

The prints are produced on beautiful fine art paper to preserve the colour, detail, and texture of the original painting.

If you’re looking for something slightly different, I can also provide framed prints, smaller or larger sizes, and posters.

At markets I sell framed prints, unframed prints, and greeting cards, so if you’ve seen something in person and would like a similar option online, feel free to get in touch.

Send me an email if you’re looking for something specific.
